The importance of this branch of archeology cannot be too highly appreciated, embracing incidents, historical and social, from the earliest times, brought to our notice by invaluable specimens of glyptic art, many of them of the purest taste, beauty and excellency; elucidating obscure points in the creeds and general usages of the past, types for artistic imitation, besides supplying links to fix particular times and events. Illustrated throughout. Contents: rings from the earliest period; ring superstitions; secular investiture by the ring; rings in connection with ecclesiastical usages; betrothal and wedding rings; token rings; memorial and mortuary rings; posy, inscription, and motto rings; customs and incidents in connection with rings; remarkable rings. |
